"Are you struggling with trauma or the fallout from a difficult childhood? The good news is that therapy can help you access your natural healing tendencies and develop feelings of safety and self-compassion within a supportive relationship.

I love my work, which allows me to know people in profound ways, attend to their experiences on meaningful levels, and offer support in their moments of need."

"People may think you've got it together. You may even be quite successful. But underneath you may feel sad, anxious, insecure, or empty. You may have habits you don't like or conflicts you don't understand. The goal is not to "fix" you, but to provide you with insights that allow you to be more effective and satisfied. But therapy is not a one-size-fits-all toolbox. I will help you manage your unique struggles, balancing practical coping skills with an in-depth understanding of you as a person, which leads to your growth and self-acceptance."

"I have always had a special interest in helping people overcome stress and anxiety. Anxiety is a problem that is very distressing but also exceptionally treatable, and I enjoy seeing my clients move past their anxiety and exceed their goals. I like working with many types of people, but my favorite kind of client is someone who is highly capable and motivated, but for whom anxiety holds them back and challenges their self-confidence at work or in relationships. For some of my clients anxiety has been a lifelong issue, while for others it recently emerged."

"Most of my clients are struggling to balance multiple obligations such as work, school, family, and social relationships, or are feeling like they can't move forward and don't know why.

In my work as a clinical psychologist, I work collaboratively with my clients to equip them with the tools to effectively take charge of their current situation. My goal is to amplify my clients' strengths and empower them to enact lasting changes in their lives."

"I want to help you feel more the way you want to feel. Sometimes that road can be a fairly straight shot, other times it requires a much more meandering, complex exploration. I believe therapy works, otherwise I wouldn't be doing it! I also believe it works differently for different people, and in our work, we will aim to figure out exactly what it is you or your relationship, your family or your child needs. I work from attachment, developmental and trauma-informed perspectives. I love working with couples and adolescents and have been in practice for eight years."

"Many of my clients are successful professionals who are beginning to question whether they are on the right path. Some are searching for a more creative or spiritual way of life. Others crave relationships of greater substance. Still others seek clarity of purpose. Most feel limited by notions of what they have to be or do for the sake of others. You may have something in common with these people."
